My mom is 94 and has a 2005 Toyota Sienna with 86,000 miles on the clock. She doesn’t drive, but has a caretaker that takes her where she needs to go. The caretaker said the brakes might need some attention, so they took it to the Toyota dealership. You can see where this is going. Long story short, they came up with a laundry list of items to be taken care of for about $6500. Obviously that’s not going to happen.
Take a look at the following. My thought is get the brakes repaired and the axles replaced. For the rest of the items, the car will last longer than she needs to to be driven in it. For the oil leaks, we just need to keep adding oil to the engine as needed. It’s not leaking like the Exxon Valdez, like the dealer is making it out to be.
So, does anybody know of a good independent auto repair shop in Sandy Springs/Dunwoody?
Edit: I find it strange that they would change the front and rear brake pads and rotors, but not bleed the brakes. They want to charge extra.🙄
